Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 22 The Story of the Three-Tailed Fox (1)

For the rest of my life, I will end up in the loess.

Aunt Haruyuki's life was over, leaving no daughter or son behind.

All the right and wrong during her lifetime have been buried deeply in the soil along with her body.

Maybe someone will remember her in the future, but all of this has nothing to do with Aunt Haruyuki...

When Chen Beibei returned home from Aunt Chunxue, he had to pass the river where she drowned before.

At that time, it was dusk, and the last ray of sunlight remained in the sky.

The golden sunset shone on the small town of Qinghe, on Chen Beibei's body, and on the river.

Chen Beibei saw three people standing quietly by the river...

One of them was Aunt Haruyuki who had just been buried in the ground.

Chen Beibei also met the other two, when he was at the old man's house before.

"Is everything (liao) gone?"

A woman in white, holding a spirit-calling flag, asked faintly.

Aunt Haruyuki looked at the running water and nodded.

"Then let's go..."

Chen Beibei looked at the three people and disappeared out of his sight.

It made him wonder if he was wrong.

This world has been a little different since he met a kappa on the bridge.

Chen Beibei knew that he might not be able to live like before.

Go to work, leave work, play games, sleep, eat...

Chen Beibei likes a regular life, peace and tranquility.

However, the monsters that appear in this world, and the messengers who extradite the souls of the dead.

It made Chen Beibei feel that there might be more unknown things hidden in some unseen places, hiding from human eyes.

They were originally living their lives in places unknown to humans.But now it is slowly appearing in the field of vision of mankind.

……

Chen Beibei bought two lunch boxes and went to Aunt Chunxue's funeral by himself.

The kappa and the three-tailed fox are at home, probably haven't eaten yet?
By the time the lunch box was bought, the sun had completely set, and an owl was flying in front of Chen Beibei.

It ended up on a branch across from the window of his rental house.

The branches swayed slightly, and the owl spread its wings to maintain its balance.

"Eat so fat, be careful not to fly..."

Chen Beibei looked at the owl and said to himself.

There was only one fiery red fox left in the room, and Chen Beibei put down the lunch box in his hand.

"Where's the Kappa?"

"A monk came today and took her away."

The three-tailed fox turned into a beautiful woman with a slightly disappointed expression.

Chen Beibei thought of the monk who appeared at Aunt Chunxue's funeral, and also remembered the way he was talking to himself.

It must be him, right?
"Why didn't you stop him?"

"Master, that monk is not an ordinary person, I can't stop..."

"Then where is he now?"

"Master, I don't know, you can't find him, Kappa did something that shouldn't be done. She can no longer be your shikigami..."

At this moment, Chen Beibei had already realized that Aunt Chunxue's death might have something to do with the Kappa.

In fact, he should have realized it a long time ago, when Aunt Haruyuki was crazy...

Chen Beibei never thought that Kappa would kill others.

After all, Kappa has always looked like a cute little girl.

"Master, that monk asked me to tell you a few words. He said that onmyojis have their own responsibilities, and that good and evil of monsters are only a matter of one thought. As an onmyoji, one should guide monsters to be good..."

Three-tailed Fox didn't follow the monk's original words, because in the monk's words, he blamed his master for not helping the Kappa fulfill his long-cherished wish, which led to Aunt Haruyuki's death.

If you say that, you may make your master fall into self-blame.

So the three-tailed fox chose some euphemistic words to describe the meaning of the monk's words.

……

Guide monsters, to good?
Is this the responsibility of the Onmyoji?
After Chen Beibei got Kappa and Three-Tailed Fox, he didn't take much care of them.

When Kappa was promoted to the second level, the system gave Chen Beibei a reminder.

Let Chen Beibei help Shikigami realize his long-cherished wish.

Chen Beibei also tried his best, but failed in the end.

If Chen Beibei were to come again, Chen Beibei knew that he would be able to relieve the Kappa from his knot.Turned into a kind monster.

Because, at that time, Chen Beibei just tried his best, but he didn't really put his heart into understanding her feelings from the perspective of the Kappa.

"Ding, the kappa disappeared, the contract was terminated..."

Chen Beibei suddenly heard a system prompt, and the card with the kappa pattern appeared in Chen Beibei's mind.

The card slowly turned to ashes and disappeared into the shikigami column.

"Master, please don't be sad, Kappa... just reincarnated..."

Three-tailed fox looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.

Perhaps it is also a kind of relief for the souls of the dead who have lived in the river for ten years to reincarnate.

"Hopefully, she can find a good family. Find a mother who loves her."

……

Without Kappa, life would be even more boring.

Chen Beibei was still doing his job like that, and Sanweihu was still going out every night.

The Kappa's departure made Chen Beibei start to pay more attention to the three-tailed fox.

Chen Beibei asked Sanweihu more than once why he went out at night.
Three-tailed fox did not answer.

Until one day, Sanweihu hurried back to the rental house in the middle of the night.

Chen Beibei was not asleep yet, playing with his mobile phone on the bed.

In the mouth of the three-tailed fox, muttered to himself: "He...it is him..."

"Sister Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Beibei was quite concerned when he saw the appearance of the three-tailed fox.

The three-tailed fox didn't continue talking, turned into a fox, and hid under the blanket.

Soft body, trembling slightly...

No matter how Chen Beibei asked her, she stopped opening her mouth.

At this time, Chen Beibei knew that it was time for him to find out what the three-tailed fox had in mind.

What made her go looking for those men night after night?
What kind of person is he in her mouth?
Good and evil, in one thought.

If I don't care, the three-tailed fox will be the same as the kappa, right?
Chen Beibei was still playing with his mobile phone, but he had already thought a lot about it.

No matter what, Chen Beibei didn't want Sanweihu to leave him.

Since Three-Tailed Fox is unwilling to tell her own story, she also refuses to say who he is.

Then Chen Beibei will find out by himself.

After all, as her master, one must do something for her.

The next day, the three-tailed fox said early in the morning that he would go out for a while.

This was something that had never happened before. Chen Beibei agreed and asked his boss for leave.

Following the three-tailed fox, Chen Beibei walked through alleys and finally came to a dilapidated house.

The houses are made of khaki mud bricks covered with blue tiles.

Houses like this are rare...

Three-tailed fox, what is the purpose of coming here?
　Today rng lost the game, I feel a little depressed, our e-sports dream...
